What's the kindest way to make it clear I'm not interested in socializing with coworkers? I go to work to do a job and be professional. I have absolutely no desire need or want to socialize with people at work. I have nothing in common with most of my colleagues and I wouldn't even talk to them, if I didn't work with them. I'm nice and professional at work and I do my job well. But at the end of the day I want to go home to my husband, family and friends.
there's a lot of folks who don't socialize after hours; if asked you should just say that you enjoy your off-work hours with family/friends and don't have the extra time to add in after work functions. I would say that you'll likely want to make a show at at least one function a year to not be viewed as rude. It really depends on the workplace though; some are really into after work socializing and others only do so around certain holiday seasons.
On the other hand, is your job where off hours socializing is one marker by which your superiors judge you for promotions?
